"What, the two of them are sleeping together?" Zhang Wan'er's eyes flared with intense jealousy upon hearing this news. She bit her lower lip hard. Didn't Chen Lishu see Gu Xingdong sleeping with her that day? Why wasn't she giving up?
Could the relationship between the two truly be as fragile as she imagined? If that were the case, it would indeed be difficult to break Chen Lishu's relationship with the He family, as she was currently relying on the He family's connections to enter the courtyard and occasionally see Gu Xingdong.
If Chen Lishu were to fall out with the He family, could she find another excuse to approach Gu Xingdong? Thinking of this, Zhang Wan'er rubbed her head with a slight headache. "Alright, I know. I promise this kind of thing won't happen again today. But you also have to help me. You're in the courtyard every day and have a lot of contact with Li Xiulan, so remember to put in a good word for me with her!"
"That's natural. Although I used to like Gu Xingdong, I've now met someone I can entrust my life to. Don't worry, I won't fight you for him. We're both heading towards the same goal, and I'll try my best to help you with some things." Qin Yue smilingly agreed to the matter, but in her heart, she had already cursed Zhang Wan'er a thousand times.
If it weren't for the need to complete the task quickly so she could stay by Meng Lei's side, live a life of luxury, and have enough power to deal with Zhang Wan'er, why would she be lowering herself now?
Zhang Wan'er wasn't foolish. Faced with Qin Yue's apparent kindness, she not only didn't believe it but also felt a hint of suspicion. So, she raised an eyebrow and said, "Then go and put in a good word for me now. You saw our different attitudes towards Gu Xingdong this morning, didn't you?
Li Xiulan is Gu Xingdong's mother. She must be feeling terrible seeing her son humiliated in public. If we add fuel to the fire at this moment, their marital relationship might break down very quickly, and then I can naturally move in!"
Qin Yue hesitated, "Are you sure this move will work? Don't underestimate them. They're not easy people to deal with!"
"That doesn't include Li Xiulan. What kind of schemes can a village woman from the countryside have? I heard they value sons over daughters there. It was only because Chen Lishu could earn money that she was treated well before. I've thought about it carefully, and my status is no worse than Chen Lishu's. You can mention this often!
Between a woman who only angers her son and a woman who can help her son advance in his career, which one do you think she, as a mother, would choose? For her son's better development, of course, she'd choose me!" Zhang Wan'er hadn't realized the importance of charming Li Xiulan at first, but after hearing Qin Yue's words, she felt they made sense.
Didn't the ancient saying go, "Parents' names carry weight"? If even his mother opposed Gu Xingdong and Chen Lishu's marriage, their separation wouldn't be far off. Regardless of whether she could win Gu Xingdong's heart, she could first charm Li Xiulan and have her strongly recommend her as Gu Xingdong's wife. As long as she held the title of the main wife, wouldn't she have more time to cultivate her relationship with Gu Xingdong?
Thinking of this, Zhang Wan'er's lips curved upwards slightly. She seemed to envision her life after the plan succeeded, her face filled with joy.
Qin Yue had no intention of acting as a spokesperson. Zhang Wan'er kept saying Li Xiulan was from the countryside and lacked experience, but wasn't Chen Lishu also from the countryside? She was a love rival at first, but what was the outcome?
Moreover, she hadn't tried to sow discord between Li Xiulan and Chen Lishu before. However, Li Xiulan's reactions were always indifferent, unaffected by her attempts. This indicated that Li Xiulan was either extremely astute and had seen through her plans, or she genuinely valued Chen Lishu so much that even Gu Xingdong paled in comparison.
The latter seemed a bit far-fetched, as what mother wouldn't favor her own child? This meant Li Xiulan was likely the former. Whichever the case, it wasn't good for her. If she offended Li Xiulan, and this matter reached old Mr. He and the others, she had no doubt that the He family would find any excuse to drive her out again.
Although He Zinian had arranged a villa for her, her name was not on the property deed. This meant He Zinian could take back the villa at any time! If her mission failed here, Meng Lei would also not let her off easily. It was better to have fewer troubles than more!
Meng Lei had told her that forces from abroad were gradually infiltrating the He Corporation. As long as she behaved herself during this period and waited for success, Meng Lei would ensure she had a good future, given that he held leverage over her. But if she made a mistake, things could be uncertain. Da Feng Novel Network
Regardless of Meng Lei's task for her, Qin Yue thought it was better to have fewer troubles and didn't want to get involved in these matters! Her eyes darted around, and then she slowly said, "Don't be in such a hurry! Is it not the right time to go and instigate conflict between them now? Don't forget that you still need to interfere with Chen Lishu's participation in the competition!
Don't you want to ruin Chen Lishu's reputation? With so many things on your plate now, even if you destroy their marital relationship, you won't be able to maintain it. My suggestion is that I help you after you've resolved your own matters?"
Faced with Qin Yue's evasion, a hint of suspicion flickered in Zhang Wan'er's eyes. She shook her head slightly and said with firm resolve, "This matter has nothing to do with you anymore. You just need to do as I say and get this done!
Of course, if you don't do it, don't blame me for disrupting your plans halfway. If I don't benefit from this, do you think I'm the kind of weak, manipulable pawn that you can control?"
Qin Yue seemed surprised by Zhang Wan'er's stubbornness and rubbed her forehead with some distress. "Alright, alright, you truly are my ancestor! I'll go and do this for you now, okay? But after I've done it for you, the rest of the matters will be up to you to handle. I can't get involved anymore, do you understand?"
